Florence, Italy is one of our favorite destinations to plan for. From the delectable Tuscan dishes, to the fashion and the undeniably beautiful renaissance architecture.

There are a plethora of beautiful luxury, boutique hotels in Florence, but Hotel La Gemma stands out to us. Here's why:

LOCATION

If you're a first-timer in Florence it's a good idea to find a hotel that is centrally located to the main attractions - the Duomo, Ponte Vecchio Bridge, Boboli Gardens, etc. - as this is likely where you'll be spending most of your day.

Hotel La Gemma is in the perfect location for exploring all Florence has to offer. A 20-minute walk in any direction will lead you to all the main sites in Florence, plus some cool local neighborhoods for an off-the-beaten path experience.

AMBIENCE

Aside from being in the perfect location, this boutique hotel has a style unlike anything else you'd find in Florence.

The designers skipped the typical Florentine stylings and jumped straight into tailoring the hotel with posh, modern pieces with some art-deco inspired furnishings and feminine touches.

While the vibe is undeniably posh and upscale, the interiors create a cozy and inviting atmosphere to make you feel right at home after a long day of sightseeing.

DINING

If you're into fine dining, you won't be disappointed with Luca's, located inside Hotel La Gemma. Run by Michelin-starred chef, Paulo Airaudo, Luca's is praised for adding a modern twist on traditional Florentine cuisine.

The restaurant is just as stylish as the hotel and offers 4 or 8-course tasting menus and an extensive wine list.

And if you don't have time to sit through a long meal (I mean you should - you're on vacation, right?), you can always head to Luca's Lounge for gourmet tapas, meals and craft cocktails.

SPA & WELLNESS

I don't know about you, but spa days are a must during my travels.. Especially after jetlag, running around the city and eating all the food my stomach can reasonably handle.

Hotel La Gemma's Allure Spa, offers multiple treatment options from massages and facials with specialized add-ons (think caviar vert for anti-aging), to luxury manicures and pedicures.

Best of all, they have a relaxation lounge with a sauna, steam room and hydrotherapy area. It is the perfect way to rejuvenate before a haul flight back to the states.
